i am using DBC... and i want to know how to make it so that when you are playing the game, and you PRESS the up/down/left/right key, the character moves 32 pixals that way. i have done alot of searching... and couldn't find anything for DBC... so how would i go about doing this?

THANKS FOR STOPING AT A RED LIGHT... AND LETTING ME CRASH INTO YOU AT 80 MILES AN HOUR!!!

You could try this:

if upkey()=1 and player_y>32 then player_y=player_y-32
if downkey()=1 and player_y<(screen height()-32)then player_y=player_y+32
if leftkey()=1 and player_x>32 then player_x=player_x-32
if rightkey()=1 and player_x<(screen width()-64) then player_x=player_x+32
sprite player,player_x,player_y,player_image

You idiots! You've captured their stunt doubles!

You will need to modify it to go up 32pixels and you will probably not want it to go up 32 pixels every time it loops.

+ Code Snippet

sync on
hide mouse

`Set players start Position
PlayerX=50
PlayerY=50

do

`Draw the boxy player
ink rgb(200,0,0),1
Box PlayerX-10,PlayerY-10,PlayerX+10,PlayerY+10

`Move player
if upkey()=1 then PlayerY=PlayerY-1
if downkey()=1 then PlayerY=PlayerY+1
if rightkey()=1 then PlayerX=PlayerX+1
if leftkey()=1 then PlayerX=PlayerX-1

sync
cls
loop

ok... here is my current code:

+ Code Snippet

sync on
hide mouse
x = 32
y = 32
ink 0,1
load bitmap "floor.bmp"
load image "guy.bmp",1
set sprite 1,1,0
load bitmap "floor.bmp",11
bitmapnumber=0
set current bitmap 0
cls 0
copy bitmap 11,0
do
   if upkey()=1 then y=y-32
   if downkey()=1 then y=y+32
   if leftkey()=1 then x=x-32
   if rightkey()=1 then x=x+32
   sprite 1,x,y,1
   sync
loop

with this part of the code:

+ Code Snippet

do
   if upkey()=1 then y=y-32
   if downkey()=1 then y=y+32
   if leftkey()=1 then x=x-32
   if rightkey()=1 then x=x+32
   sprite 1,x,y,1
   sync
loop

Use the keystate of the arrow keys to control it. Use this code for your do - loop:

+ Code Snippet

do
 if keystate(200)=1 and up=0 then up=1 : y=y-32
 if keystate(208)=1 and down=0 then down=1 : y=y+32
 if keystate(203)=1 and left=0 then left=1 : x=x-32
 if keystate(205)=1 and right=0 then right=1 : x=x+32
 if keystate(200)=0 then up=0
 if keystate(208)=0 then down=0
 if keystate(203)=0 then left=0
 if keystate(205)=0 then right=0
  sprite 1,x,y,1
  sync
loop
